Lyrics

There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in lightIn the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s rightAnd it comes in black and it comes in whiteAnd I’m frightened by those that don’t see it

When nothing is owed or deserved or expectedAnd your life doesn’t change by the man that’s electedIf you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejectedDecide what to be and go be it

There was a dream and one day I could see itLike a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free itAnd there was a kid with a head full of doubtSo I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There’s a darkness upon you that’s flooded in lightAnd in the fine print they tell you what’s wrong and what’s rightAnd it flies by day and it flies by nightAnd I’m frightened by those that don’t see it

There was a dream and one day I could see itLike a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free itAnd there was a kid with a head full of doubtSo I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There was a dream and one day I could see itLike a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free itAnd there was a kid with a head full of doubtSo I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in lightIn the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s rightThere’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in lightAnd I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
